Matrix Reinsurance

In the organizer's words:

Matrix Reinsurance

Performance by Markus&Markus Theaterkollektiv

For us, it's just a crossroads, a house by a river, a car with lane departure warning. For them, it's numbers, foreseeable dangers, calculable risks. The three largest reinsurance companies in the world are right on our doorstep: Munich Re, Swiss Re and Hannover Re. This is where the big calculations are made, the risks weighed up, the dangers localized; this is where the game is defined - reality is constructed.

We have explored this invisible world and developed a production on the Matrix film that describes the limits of insurability - and thus the limits of life as we know it. After Matrix (1999), Matrix Reloaded (2003), Matrix Revolutions (2003) and Matrix Resurrections (2021), the long-awaited next part is finally here: Matrix Reinsurance (2024).
